The Claim
Among older Chinese adults, those in the highest tertile of the protein-enriched dietary diversity index (PEDDI) have 83% higher odds of achieving extreme longevity compared to those in the lowest tertile, suggesting a strong association between protein-rich dietary variety and survival into very old age.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Older Chinese adults who eat a more varied diet rich in protein are much more likely to live to an extremely old age compared to those who don’t.

What the research says
1 studyThe study found that older Chinese adults who ate a more varied diet with plenty of protein were about 83% more likely to live to an extremely old age compared to those who didn’t, which matches the claim.
